I'm not saying that Labour should spend this amount on the NHS nor am I arguing whether the party's sums add up. I'm just pointing out that they have said they will spend more on it if elected.
That's the latest election you have linked to. I was referring to 2010, when Labour appeared not to have a clue as to how to deal with the state of the economy.

I accept that they are saying differently now, but the economy is in rather better shape now than it was in 2010. Had Labour succeeded in getting a further crack at governing the country then, the economy would be in a parlous state, people would be poorer and the NHS would be teetering on the brink of collapse. Another IMF bailout would have been highly likely, with much worse austerity than the coalition or the present government have imposed.
